From the Superintendent

Colleagues:

I am pleased with the efforts of the legislature in its Mid-Biennium Review to address many educational policy concerns and to continue placing a high priority on the education of the girls and boys of Ohio. We still have a lot of work to do to make sure every Ohio student receives a high quality education, but the passage of this legislation ensures that we are directed toward that goal.

Together, these changes provide what many educators around Ohio have been seeking – more options to meet the unique needs of students and additional time to implement all the changes we are making to improve student learning.

The information I am sharing with you today is just a start – we’ll review the bill in detail and provide more complete guidance in the coming weeks. In addition to the summary below, every MBR item is listed in this document.
